Kanna Hashimoto’s Toxic Workplace Sparks Uproar
Kanna Hashimoto, 25, famed for her “once-in-a-millennium” idol image, faces serious backlash scandal over allegations of power harassment.
Shukan Bunshun reports claim her aggressive behaviour led to the resignation of eight managers.
The actress, known for hits like Kaguya-sama: Love is War, allegedly berated staff with phrases like “useless” over minor errors, such as mistimed drinks.
Sources also suggest her agency condoned the toxic environment, pushing resigning managers to label their departures as voluntary.
Hashimoto Kanna’s rise to fame began in Fukuoka as a local idol.
By 2014, she had transitioned to Tokyo, leveraging her viral “miracle photo” and signing major endorsements within a year. But her journey wasn’t without stress.
Insiders reveal that rising competition and lead roles fuelled her heavy drinking habits, with reports of her arriving hungover to sets.
Attempts to cope with mounting pressures seemingly spilled over into hostility towards subordinates.
The agency, currently hiring ten new managers, denies all allegations.
However, ex-staff highlight gruelling hours, verbal abuse, and withheld benefits as reasons for the high turnover.
As the controversy unfolds, fans question whether the star they admire hides a darker reality.
